Yeah, we can get a lot more energy per ounce out of it, but we have a lot fewer ounces of it to go around. Renewables are the only long term solution worth a damn. <BR/><BR/>The problem with renewables is a profit one--and that's only a problem for the companies trying to make a buck off it. It's not a problem for me, except that energy companies are in my fucking way. There's a lot less money in installing a wind farm that cracks hydrogen for fuel cells than there is for controlling the diminishing amounts of a finite resource like oil or uranium.Brian Shttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15258964922666185002noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21373052.post-5654000265779034432007-10-25T21:25:00.000-07:002007-10-25T21:25:00.000-07:00You know I think much of the hype about renewable ...You know I think much of the hype about renewable energy is coming from the auto industry. I think that the oil companies already see this is coming and are trying to plan for the future life of their companies. After a couple of quick yahoo searches I came across a few relevant sites:<BR/><BR/>http://www.chevron.com/GlobalIssues/CorporateResponsibility/2006/environment/renewable_energy/<BR/><BR/>http://www.shell.com/home/Framework?siteId=rw-br<BR/><BR/>http://www.bp.com/sectiongenericarticle.do?categoryId=22&contentId=2006538<BR/><BR/>As more mass power generation, the USA needs to follow France's example. Nuclear power. For automotive needs, Japan automakers are making major strides in hydrogen. Companies are looking to the future, however is you make people think the sky is falling you can maximize your oil profits while they last.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
